We all have things that are challenging in our lives. Some things we choose to share with the people in our life, and others we want to keep to our self. But, no one’s life is without challenges. Many times people are hard on themselves because they feel they aren’t doing enough, or they don’t have enough because they’re comparing their life to someone else’s. No matter how together someone's life may seem, trust me somewhere in their life there is a challenge or two lurking behind the curtain.

We each deal with our challenges in the best way that we know how, using the examples given to us by our family, friends and the media. While going through a challenge, we experience doubt and fear. Doubt and fear in our decisions, and the possible outcome of our decision. But, if you think back there was some challenge from your past that has prepared you and is in some way helping you deal with the challenge that you face today.

Every challenge is uncomfortable, but many times very necessary for our growth. I am always sorry when I see someone going through a difficult time, but at the same time, I know that it is part of their journey and their growth.

No situation is perfect. Be kind to yourself, be patient, and stay aware. Know that everything that you need will come to you in the perfect time in the perfect way, and with every challenge comes with a lesson and a blessing.
